was sorry that any publicity should be given to

dicht Krebs. He is q native of Sweden, and says
he has been living in Springfield, Ill, for some
years. He Is held as being insane. He came here
about three weeks ago, and stopped for a night at
the Columbus Hotel on Pennsylvania avenue.
The next morning he told the clerk, Mr.. George
Houston. that he was a carpenter, and the latter
gave MIN few days work. Krebs then paid In
advance for a room In the hotel for month, and
took his meals in the adjoining house. He had
not occupied his quarters in the hotel long
before he began to talk about the President
ago, he said there were we're 10000 coming to him
from the Government, but the President tGrant
got 1t and spent It: Persons about the hotel be-
came uneasy and Krebs was
REQUESTED TO FIND ANOTHER BoARDING-HoUsE,
and the offer was made to return him his rent
money If he would leave. He refused to receive
the money, and said he was too well satisfied with
his quarters to leave One day he went into his
room and locked the door, A few minutes later
was busily engaged in moving the furniture from

owed him $500. .O0O, GOO, which he would have to
pay, and he began
TALKING ABOUT KILLING THE PRESIDENT.
One afternoon when he had one Of these crazy
spells on him he held piece of soap in his hand
and said: "If can't get anything else I'll kill
Cleveland with this" Yesterday he said he was
gong TO get double barrel shotgun and when
Cleveland was at church Sunday he was going to
shoot the top Of his head of. Mr.. Houston thought
That krebs would carry his threat into execution,
and he notified Officer Groff, who arrested him.

Last night, WHEN seen in his cell by STAR re-
porter, Krebs said that in 1875 President Grant
convened special term of the u. 8. Court, which
granted him Krebs) s12 900 "for neglect of educa-
tlon and innocent SUFFERING" The President failed
10 keep his contract, and he (krebs) defrauded
out OF the money. Now, President Cleveland acts
IN the same manner. he intended to see the
President when friends of both were present, SO
that II there was any trouble each would have a
fa1r snow. "Are you married or single?" asked the
reporter. II am single" he answered, 'but it is
not MY fault. In 1872 was driven from an en-
gagement In Wisconsin by assassination. The
assassins were tried at the capital and Judgment
was rendered against them"

The following special notice to employees has

SIT has been proposed, In order to meet the wishes
be paid to health and recreation during the hot
season, that the Government Printing Office be
closed during the months OF July and August from
the hours OF l to O'Clock p. m. Saturdays. The
Public Printer has no power to allow compensa-
ton to employees for the loss OF time by such clos
ing II adopted. he is willing to submit the ques-
ton TO the employees OF the Office, however with
statement or his opinion that the public interests
would not be embarrassed by such closing. That
6ne may AZ bs }5s 1t Is
their respective divisions and elect a com
mittee to confer with the Public Printer
mittee be composed OF the following representa-
tives: Five from bindery; one from each typo
graph1cal division OF the main office; one from
from press room; one from stereotype foundry,
and one from miscellaneous division. Said COM
mlttee Will be asked to consider the following
poSed7 I'd. Shall 1T be with loss OF three hours
time per week to each employee? Sd. Shall the
lost time or any portion OF 1t, be made up by ex-
committee win meet at the office of the Public
Printer on Wednesday, July g. at o'clock pm"
SUMNER LEAVES OF ABSENCE WITH PAY.
The Public Printer has also issued the following
notice to employees:
''Under the provisions Of the act Of June 80,
pay, to employees OF the Government Printing
Office, it was ruled by the Public Printer that
those employees who had rendered one yea. of con-
tinuous service in the ONCE prior to July l. 1885, be-
came Immediately entitled to the benefits OF the
act Under the act OF March 3, 1887, extending the
benefits OF said preceding act to the fiscal year of
1S87-18S8, it Is my opinion that all employees who
have served one year continuously in this office
previous to July l, 1887, are now entitled to
make application for and receive ffteen days
leave OF absence with pay. In view of the
extraordinary demands for work likely to
be made upon this Office during the coming fall
and winter, the interests OF the public service
require that as many employees as are entitled
to leave Of absence during the months Of July,
August, and september, should make application
for and receive such leave Of absence. 1t is my
purpose, in order to promptly meet the demand
for printing the Department reports and to per-
form the work OF Congress, to hold the working
force OF the Office practically intact during the
months Of october, November, and December, and
only minimum Of applications for leave win be
granted during those months, and all such appli-
cations will be held strictly subject to the busl-
ness necessities of the office. Employees entitled
to leave are requested to take due Consideration OF
the above An average OF 200 leaves per month
can be taken with advantage to the business Of
the of1ce during the coming two months"
